Doctors always calculate in weeks because baby's growth is checked weekly. Keep track of your weeks and make sure to follow up with your doctor regularly.

Honestly, my sleep-deprived brain could never do the weeks-to-months math! Just know that 12 weeks is around 3 months, and 28 weeks starts your 7th month.

I'm in my 3rd trimester and honestly, I just say 'almost done'! But yes, weeks are more accurate because every month doesn't have exactly 4 weeks.

Hey, don't stress too much about the exact days and months. Just remember your due date, and let the doctor do the weekly math!

Listen, doctors use weeks because development changes so fast. Just remember 13 weeks is end of 1st trimester, and 28 weeks is end of 2nd trimester.

It's super simple: 4 weeks is roughly 1 month, but actually a full pregnancy is 40 weeks, which is about 9 months and 10 days. Just use a pregnancy tracker app to avoid the math.

Whenever my relatives asked how many months, my mother would explain that 9 months completes around 40 weeks. We used to count together on the calendar.
